Tracking

Stranger: tom

You: adam

You: age?

Stranger: 23

You: 20

Stranger: whats up

You: just was on OpenStudy math

You: then came here

You: just now

Stranger: lol needed a break from math

You: na, just didn't have much to ask

You: and I spend too much time helping people though easy

You: questions anyways

Stranger: ah what brings you on here

You: I've never really said this explicitly, and it sounds a little weird, but

You: to grow as a person

You: gain new perspectives

You: realize new skills to learn

You: share people's stories

Stranger: oh like meet new people and stuff like that

You: that's how it happens

You: so do you know a certain skill that not everyone knows?

Stranger: just how to track

You: animal?

Stranger: animals people anything that walks in the woods

You: aw, that is badass

You: I started a book about animal tracking...

You: but I didn't but in enough "dirt time"

You: for it to stick

Stranger: books really have nothing on what the older generation has to offer

You: what do you mean?

Stranger: books can only show you what might be there but someone who has been doing it all there life can show you way more

You: ya, but I'd have to pay them

You: Tom Brown Junior, if he's still alive has a course

You: sort of a course

Stranger: not really most time's if you go out to where the older guys hunt and talk to them for some time they well teach you

You: sweet

You: is that how you learned? but who specifically: uncle, dad, etc?

Stranger: grandpa, dad, people I've met

You: that sounds all right, but I think the only time I'd have a worthwhile shot (while not on private property) is during season

You: and don't most hunters just want to hunt, not really be bothered?

Stranger: most of the older guy who go out alone are looking for someone to hunt with since most of the time there own kids wont

You: oh....ok

Stranger: how I learned

You: so should I go out just during deer season?

You: when are other times?

Stranger: more during October during the bird seasons not deer

You: why bird? I've just thought about animal tracks...
